PHOTO GALLERY #1: Daniolos, fast attack craft of the Hellenic Navy

Photos by D-Mitch

Yesterday, Friday, October 24, I had the opportunity to visit the fast attack craft Daniolos P-68of the Roussen class, the most modern surface combatants in service with Hellenic Navy, and the submarine Pontos S-119
of the Poseidon class (Type 209/1200). Because of the very bad weather the visit was like.. a private tour! The boats were opened to the
public at Piraeus harbor due to the forthcoming celebration of Ohi Day
(anniversary of the "No") to commemorate
the rejection by Greek Prime Minister Metaxas of the ultimatum made by
Italian dictator Mussolini on October 28, 1940 during WWII. To learn more about the equipment, the armament and the capabilities of Roussen class click here. I would like to thank a lot the officers and the non-commissioned officers who are real professionals, friendly, ready to explain everything in detail and with patience, they are men who love their boats and their work, they were GREAT! Enjoy the photos!
